Hi, can any one tell me what the black box is around the air conditioning pipes that are near the bulk head ( Pegeot 306 Turbo diesel 1998)? The box looks like it can be opened. When the air conditioner is turned off in the car ( after having been on ) there is a very "musty" smell.Is there anyway to combat this? Are there any filters or blocked pipes that can be serviced? TIA. Incidently, the air conditiononer is working well...i`m just curious.
probably you have a pollen filter, sometimes these have smell remover too, it is replaced under usual servicing every two years, often neglected.
air con smells are common. any car shop will sell you various potions to keep it all fragrant.

Turning off the AC and running the blower on high for a few minutes before the end of your journey helps.
Halfords, etc, sell deodorisers for this purpose. Febreeze is said to work too.
Switch the system to recirculate and spray into the in car air *intake* - usually somewhere in the passenger's foot well.
Just a thaught. Does that mean it's advisable not to use recirculate if you have a passenger with smelly feet? :-) Mike.
only if you have the vents on your side turned on ;)
